Understanding how much inorganic fertilizer (referred to as fertilizer) is applied to different crops at national, regional and global levels is an essential component of fertilizer consumption analysis and demand projection. Good information on fertilizer use by crop (FUBC) is rarely available because it is difficult to collect and time-consuming to process and validate. To fill this gap, a first global FUBC report was published in 1992 for the 1990/1991 period, based on an expert survey conducted jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN, the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) and the International Fertilizer Association (IFA). Since then, similar expert surveys have been carried out and published every two to four years in the main fertilizer-consuming countries. Since 2008 IFA has led these efforts and, to our knowledge, remains the only globally available data set on FUBC. This dataset includes data (in CSV format) from a survey carried out by IFA to represent the 2017-18 period as well as a collation of all historic FUBC data.
了解国家、地区和全球不同作物的无机肥料（简称肥料）施用量是肥料消费分析和需求预测的重要组成部分。由于收集和处理以及验证肥料作物用量（FUBC）信息困难且耗时，因此很少有关于肥料用量的良好信息。为了填补这一空白，联合国粮食及农业组织（粮农组织）、国际肥料发展中心（IFDC）和国际肥料协会（IFA）于 1992 年联合开展了一项专家调查，并根据该调查首次出版了 1990/1991 年期间的全球 FUBC 报告。此后，在主要肥料消费国每两到四年进行一次类似的专家调查并出版。自 2008 年以来，IFA 一直主导着这些工作，据我们所知，它仍然是唯一提供全球 FUBC 数据的数据集。该数据集包括 IFA 为代表 2017-18 年进行的调查以及所有历史 FUBC 数据的整理。
